about
My practice concerns the act of noticing the overlooked in daily life. In finding the found, I look to the reflexive potential within finding images accidentally while discerning interpersonal influence over this act. Having lived for many years in East-Asia, an ephemeral sense of 'home' orients this project as it evolves and imperfectly repeats.
